I can’t be the only person who has only recently learned about a way to take notes called The Cornell Note-taking System, so named because it was developed by a professor at Cornell University, back in the 1950s. I’d been looking up different kinds of organizer paper and found some that were labeled this. Why were the lines that way, I wondered? How was it used? I found out, and for those of you equally in the dark, I will share my findings.

Where better to learn than from Cornell itself? But since I didn’t go there, and it’s too far to casually visit, their website and other websites had to suffice for my research.
